"It's a pity that we haven't read any books. We can only embarrass the master when we go out, otherwise we can become a part-time gangster." After saying this, Sun Dayu seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Li Weidao: "Hey
,Brother Li, I remember that you studied, can read and digit, and can write well, right?"
Seeing Li Wei nod, he became even more enthusiastic and said excitedly: "Then you should go back quickly and say a few nice words to your mistress, and ask her to help you plead with the prince. If there is any shortage, you can also become a county magistrate.
Cheng or something."
Li Wei's eyes brightened, but soon dimmed again, and he said in despair: "It's useless, the master doesn't take us people into his heart at all, so how can he be willing to go to all this trouble and stop daydreaming?"
"That's it." Sun Dayu rubbed his hands and whispered in Li Wei's ear: "To be honest, it's already pitiful for us slaves to be ordered around by others. Because of this, we ourselves
You have to plan for yourself. Since this master is not good, why not consider... changing a master?!"
Li Wei was startled and said hurriedly: "Manager Sun, you can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense. If word gets out, neither of us will suffer."
"As long as you don't say it and I don't say it, I won't be able to spread it anywhere. Everything I say is for your own good, Brother Li. Whether you listen or not is up to you. If you don't do what you want, you will be punished by heaven and earth!"
Li Wei was moved by what he said, but then he smiled bitterly and said: "Even though I have this intention, I have already been marked as Jingsiju, so what master would want me?"
"Then it depends on you." Sun Dayu gave him a meaningful look, saying that this is enough. If Li Wei doesn't understand, then he is a fool.
After that, neither Li Wei nor Sun Dayu spoke anymore, until the two boys came in to take orders after moving all the flower pots. At this time, Sun Dayu also finished pruning the potted flowers, put down the scissors in his hands and said with a smile: "
Okay, Brother Li, go back and take a look. If there is anything missing, just come and tell me and I will have someone deliver it to you right away."
Li Wei quickly stood up and said: "Thanks to Brother Sun for your help today, I, Li Wei, am very grateful. Please don't call me "brother" like this in the future."
Sun Dayu thought for a while and said: "Okay, then I will ask you to call me brother from now on. Remember, if you have any unhappy things, just come and tell your brother. I still have some good wine that I have hidden here for many years.
.”
"Definitely!" Li Wei said goodbye with a smile. As he strode away, he didn't see Sun Dayu's eyes gradually turning cold behind him.
After coming out of the flower house and passing by the garden, Li Wei unexpectedly saw Hongshi, who was squatting and playing in the garden. What was strange was that he didn't see the wet nurse or servants beside him.
"Brother Shi, what are you doing? Aren't you supposed to be in class at this time?" Li Wei's voice seemed to scare Hong Shi, who jumped up. When he saw that Li Wei was the only one, he quickly pulled him away.
He squatted down, covered Li Wei's mouth with his little hand and said: "Shh, keep your voice down, don't let anyone know I'm here."
Li Wei's eyes widened and he said, "Brother Shi, did you sneak out of the school?"
Hongshi, who was wearing a purple tuanfu robe and boots, pouted and said, "I didn't run away. It was Mr. who dozed off and I came out." At this point, he said unhappily: "I hear it every day.
The class, sir, was really boring, but my wife said she must go."
"Fujin is doing this for Brother Shi." Li Wei lowered his head and saw the pitted ground in front of Hong Shi and the mud-covered wooden stick next to it, and asked strangely: "What is Brother Shi doing?"
When Hong Shi heard this, he immediately became energetic. He took out a small porcelain bottle from behind and handed it to Li Wei as if offering a treasure. When he opened the lid, he saw that there were actually earthworms entangled with each other. He said in wonder: "Brother Shi
, what are you doing catching so many earthworms?”
"Treat the disease!" Hongshi said happily, "My mother-in-law has been feeling uncomfortable in her throat for the past two days. It hurts so much that her voice has become hoarse. Even the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor has no effect. One time I heard
The servant said that one of his family members had a sore throat and had no money to take medicine, so they caught earthworms and boiled them in water. They were cured within a few days, so I wanted to catch a lot of earthworms and go back to treat my first wife's illness."
"Brother Shi is really filial." Li Wei said this and then added: "It's just that you sneaked out alone like this. If your direct descendant Fujin knew about it, he would be very worried."
"My mother-in-law is taking a nap at this time, so she won't notice." Hongshi smiled secretly, like a kitten that has stolen something. His bright black eyes rolled around a few times and said: "Why don't you help me too?
Dig for earthworms, dig more!"
Before Li Wei could speak, there was a faint voice coming from outside. After listening carefully for a while, he found that it was actually looking for Hong Shi, and there was also the voice of his direct descendant Fujin.
"Eniang?" Hongshi also heard it. He stood up quickly and looked out through the flowers and trees that were about the same height as others. He saw that Fujin and the people from Hanyuanju were looking for Hongshi everywhere.
"Master, where is Brother Shi?" Before Hongshi could say anything, Sanfu had already sharply spotted the familiar purple-red clothes between the flowers and trees, and was overjoyed.
"Hongshi!" Mrs. Nala looked happy, and hurriedly walked over on her flowerpot-soled shoes that were three inches high. She pushed aside the grass and saw that it was indeed Hongshi. She hugged Hongshi excitedly.
When he said, "My son, I have finally found you. You know how worried I am."
Li Wei who was standing aside saw this and quickly stood up and saluted Nala. Nala glanced at him and frowned: "Why are you here?" Nala's voice was just as Hongshi said, a little hoarse.
.
"I was passing by here and happened to meet Brother Shi." Li Wei sensed Nala's displeasure and quickly answered respectfully.
Nala responded calmly and ignored him, but pulled Hongshi away a little. She was relieved and asked with a serious face: "I asked you to study and practice calligraphy with your husband. Why did you sneak out of the school while your husband was sleeping?"
run out?"
"I want to..." Hongshi had just said a few words, and Nala had already seen the porcelain vase in his hand. After taking it, he saw the balls of earthworms inside. She frowned deeply and said in disgust: "You are not studying in class.
Did you come here just to catch these things for fun?"
Hongshi quickly raised his head to defend himself, "Children are not playing for fun, these earthworms..."
"What's wrong with these earthworms? Can they still teach you knowledge?" Nala didn't give him a chance to explain at all and threw the porcelain bottle far away. "I have told you many times that knowledge is the most important thing.
You must listen carefully to your teacher's teachings. Do you know how many gentlemen your mother-in-law looked for before she found this extremely knowledgeable gentleman to teach you how to study? But you are so stubborn that you barely pass every class, and now you are even skipping classes.
, do you want to make your mother-in-law angry to death?"
